King

O.A.R.

Sun-drenched reggae-rock with polished production and soulful saxophone. A record of mid-career reflection, stadium-sized hooks, and island-inspired grooves.

Find on Amazon

The perfect soundtrack for a long drive to the coast with the windows down.

A triumphant and mature blend of optimism and mid-career reflection.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the saxophone pierces through the rhythmic reggae skank on the title track King.
The gospel-inflected swell of the Plain Clothes Choir lifting the chorus of Heaven.
The extended seven-minute slow burn of Give Me Something that showcases the band's jam-rooted chemistry.
